 Machine Washable Embroidery
For
those who want a printer friendly version
of the above three sections all in one file
that they can keep by the workarea, here you
go:
Beaded Edgings
 |
This technique while pretty - and very
similiar to some Burgundian
necklaces in technique and style - they
are not period. But, as they
are popular and highly desired, I knew people
would love to learn it because it is very very
easy. |
Want
to do more netted beadwork?
bead-patterns.com has
thousands of beadworking patterns,
and many are free, others are very
inexpensive at just a few dollars
each. Go visit there. Do a search
for "Netted", "Net", "necklace" or "edge"...
or the like. Start
here, in the "net-weave" category.
They have free section as
well as many patterns available for a few
dollars. |
